    Detailed Test Results

    This Bluetooth wireless home/studio-style over-ear model provides middling sound.

    Sound quality:
    We found the M20XBT Studio Monitor Headphones delivers sound quality that falls in the middling range - it reproduces music and voice reasonably well despite the obvious shortcomings in its sound. The bass (as in bass drums, bass guitars, stand-up bass, etc.) has good impact and goes deep, but is a bit prominent and boomy. The midrange (voices, guitars, horns, etc.) is somewhat grainy, nasal, and plasticky, a bit hazy and somewhat congested (think sonic traffic jam), and a touch sibilant. The treble (cymbals, the upper range of violins, etc.) is extended, but is somewhat prominent and sizzly (sounds that should have a delicate shimmer have a sound reminiscent of bacon frying) and a bit smeared. While the sound has a decent sense of liveliness, it is somewhat closed (sound-wise it's fairly obvious you have something plugging your ears) and does a decent job of recovering room ambience. Mixed character - warmish bass with neutral midrange coolish treble. The overall sound can be summarized as somewhat grainy, nasal, plasticky, and a bit bassy.

    Comfort and Fit:

    We found that these headphones produce a sense of light to moderate pressure around the ears.

    As typical of over-ear models the ear pads might feel hot and/or sticky after prolonged use.

    Large

    Users with larger heads might find that the headband does not have enough adjustment range to allow the ear cups to rest properly over the ears and/or that the headband presses uncomfortably on the top of the head.

    Users with larger ears might find that the over-the-ear fit of the ear pads feel cramped, or that the ear pads sit on, rather than around their ears; in that case the less-than-ideal fit around the ears might interfere with the ear pad seal and reduce the bass response.

    Some users may find that when they lean far forward the headphones feel unstable and shift forward.

    When wearing this model while walking the muffled vibrations from each foot step can be heard slightly through the headphones.

    When the audio cord is used the sound of it rubbing on clothing may be faintly heard through the headphones.
